Hello again! Here's another weeks Savory Sundays! Sorry I'm a little late on starting it this morning, I totally forgot with all the gardening I've been doing. Speaking of that I thought I'd show you a few photos of my on going project! I'm working on a garden space and this is where we're at so far!
After the big sort out last summer and just getting the yard out of it's jungle state we decided we wanted to do a few more things.
First on the list was for me to get some garden planters. Marshall being the handy man that he is made me some. We started off with 3 and soon realized we'd need a lot more! I now have a total of 7 and am still wondering how I am going to plant everything I want to.
So far I have: Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and I'm going to plant tomatoes, carrots, zucchini and lettuce. This will be my first go at veggies (since I was little and did it with my mom) so I'm really excited about it!
You'll see from my last post (over at
Captive Creativity) about our backyard work that this area was totally covered in red cedar chips. It wasn't horrible- well I thought it was horrible- but they did a bad job at it and put black gardening mesh down that didn't let water through so this area was not only ugly but a giant puddle every time it rained. It was totally wasted space and you could tell they just didn't know what to do with it. I decided that this would be the best space for my garden so I started the huge task of taking all the chips, roots, rocks and junk out of the space.
I have no idea what they were thinking with what and where they planted but it made no sense. Marshall and I spent hours out there working on the space and now we're at the point of seeding which is so exciting!!
I bought this Bleeding Heart plant because it's a perennial and I'm trying to stick to those and because it was my great grandma's favorite flower and although I've never met her I'd like to stay connected to my family and my roots.
I have no idea what this is. As I was digging everything out I found it and thought I'd let it grow and see what it turns into.
Our new sour cherry tree! I can't wait until it starts to product those pretty flowers as it blossoms!
(Putting the news paper down stops what was once there from growing back. You have to do your best of course to get all the roots out before you do this, but this is a more natural way to start new in a space and now have that old plant come back)
